Power Coast Summit gathered more than 600 business leaders in Kotka

In April 2026, the Power Coast Summit business event brought together key players in industry, energy, technology and regional development at the Kotka Harbour Arena. The event focused on the data, battery and energy industries. It also covered other themes from security to education and employment.

Now organised for the first time, the free two-day event attracted around 600 participants to the Port Arena. Previously, the event was known as the Kymenlaakso Summit. In the opening words of the event, David Lindström, CEO of the organiser, Cursor Oy, described the building blocks of the Power Coast ecosystem: commitment, trust, motivation and cooperation.

To mark the occasion, the Power Coast Summit keynote speaker was Utaukwa Allen (photo), Google’s Head of Global Economic Development and Data Centres. Allen said that the Power Coast is not only a regional powerhouse, but also a source of economic growth and innovation for Northern Europe.
